CITY OF DUBLIN
AGENDA STATEMENT
Meeting Date: June 14, 1982
SUBJECT: Participation in Community Guide
EXHIBITS ATTAHCED: Letter from Chamber of Commerce President
RECOMMENDATION: Consider
FINANCIAL STATEMENT: $750-$1 ,650
DESCRIPTION: The City has been approached regarding its willingness to
participate in contributing to the publication of a Dublin Business Directory
and Community Guide which is being prepared for the Dublin Chamber of Commerce
by Cox Publications. Ms. Cox has indicated that she would like some input from
the City as to the type of City photographs, information, etc. it would like to
have included in the guide. The cost to the City would be $900 for a full color
{ page ad, $750 for a full black and white page. The City would be given 50 copies
of the guide for its use if it participated.
In my initial contact with Ms. Cox I expressed my concern that the City might not
be able to provide information such as a service directory until the City had
completed its negotiations for contract service. Ms. Cox indicated that she could
accept material from the City as late as the end of July, but would like a com-
mitment from the City as to whether it wished to be included in the brochure
as soon as possible.
It is my recommendation that the City Council determine whether it wishes to
participate in this guide and, if so, to what extent. If the City Council does
indicate that the City should participate, I would appreciate any suggestions
from the Council on the content of the City's page(s).
